Wrote 2 new songs. They are both almost done. One called Catastrophe, and one called Skinned Alive. Catastrophe(was inspired by old xmal, and dij, and christian death), spooky goth dance music, Skinned Alive is new wave ebm/industrial and totally aggressive and mean(was inspired old suicide commando). I am having a bitch of a time finding good samples that I really like these days, so the LP is kind of thin on samples. I have to put some finishing touches on mixes, some sound fx in a couple of places. I took more time to add a little more to the LP because it has been 3 years since LFB. I want to make sure I have something for every type of vac fan on this LP, and I think I nailed it so far. Production has improved again. So, I really love the sound quality of this LP, and the use of all the acoustic Guitars. I am really happy with how this lp has turned out. I have sung my heart out. I have played so many instruments, and made a varied lp again. I just hope the art work, the promotions, and my press photos all come together…

Honestly, What is my mission? I tell stories, I use my real feelings to relay them. I use my talent to build it. Am I a leader? NO, I hate power when it comes to others. I only want control over my own destiny. Is my music to live by? NO, stories. Some true, some fiction. But I am not a moral compass, a bible, a politician, a law maker. I only make art, like a movie, like a painting, but with sound. It is that, that only, I have no motivation to change the world, or people. If I can make someone relate and feel something that is really all I want. Nothing more, nothing less. So if any of you look up to me in some ridiculous way as an ICON. Remember, be inspired artistically, use your head to figure out the rest, I am no leader.

I just finished a new song called Killing a Stranger. It is the last song on the lp. I decided to drop one of the tracks and replace it with this. So this lp is now officially more of a folk goth rock pop industrial lp, with like 3 dance club type tracks. I am really proud of it. Most of it needs mastering, need to brighten the sound up a bit, I have such crappy software eqs that I cannot eq after the fact, so if i do not brighten stuff up before i go in, i am screwed. On the whole mix with a mastering EQ it will fix everything. I am going to do a once over and mix all the tracks, I should have this lp shipped to the mastering company, BURNIE GRUNDMAN in 2 weeks or so with any luck. The LP is called “…”(still trying to figure it out). It really fits the mood. Isolation, depression, 3 years of having no one real or close to you besides 1 band mate. Alone. That is what this lp sounds like, A sad industrial guy playing a lot of acoustic guitar. This lp sounds so different for VAC, Clean vocals. More intimate and naked sounding. You get to hear a lot of my whiney upper mid range voice. The thing I was so afraid of showing the world for so many years and hid behind a distorted evil psycho mask. I am still the psycho weirdo but sounding more heart felt and sad. I put more energy into making the songs sound good and be more minimal and easier for casual listeners to get into it. Not to sell out, but I found that simpler music is easier to mix and easier to get it to sound more professional and like the stuff you hear on the radio as far as production. I do not feel like this has hurt things, I made the songs on average about 4 minutes long, so they don’t drag on. Well one is 8 minutes, heh. oh well.

I have not picked a track order. I know who will help me though, Stefan Herwig. Yup. I am working with dependent again. He does do a good job, so I am really looking forward to it again.

The web site did transform. I put the media blog up as well in a rough beta form. This site will contain all the gear stuff I talk about, synth reviews and pro audio stuff. I don’t care if I piss people off. Whatever. So that stuff stays. But the medai stuff like other bands, models, video games, art, photography, dj, and interviews and magazine type stuff all is on www.electricdethtripmedia.com. I felt like VAC was getting lost in all that magazine stuff, like people would come here for vac news and be like, WTF is all this shit???? LOL. Seriously, The band got drown in a sea of media. I did not want to focus of this site to neglect VAC. So I had to separate them. I feel this is a much better solution. I am getting people to help me with EDT media as well. I need art for that site big time. I hope someone can help with the art for that site, it really needs it. So any how, I think I fixed the web site dilemma.

lates.
